Large boxes at Star Tours and TOT queues - queue changes coming? Shades of xPASS?

1. Cut a hole in the box
2. You put your junk in the box
3. You have her open the box

Maybe its Clifford the big red dog in the big red boxes.

This thread is brilliant! I'm almost going to be disappointed when they actually get around to dealing with the boxes, because it won't be anything as awesome as this thread!

I have nothing to add speculation-wise...only thing to add is: Best thread ever...

Are they open, yet?

Of course, you could also randomly create a sperm whale and bowl of petunias in untenible postitions, which would be bad too.

But traveling about in Improbability is better than all that tedius mucking about in hyperspace (and safer for those of us from the aforementioned Plural Sectors). At least until they get the Bistromatic drive operating.

Love it! Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy reference. LOL!

Thank you all for making my night! Only DISers would find two largish brown boxes so interesting and funny!

Smart move from Universal Studios. They've sent Thing 1 and Thing 2 to mess with the Fast Pass system!

From what i understand it is jabba the hut frozen in carbonite or pizza the hut frozen in cheeze (depending on the version you like).

Looks like it is definitely NextGen related, but what part of NextGen we still don't know:

Report confirms Tower of Terror and Star Tours will receive NextGen Queue Modifications


We've heard rumors about the NextGen technology coming to Disney's Hollywood Studios and even spotted some intriguing looking boxes in front of Tower of Terror and Star Tours, but today we've got a solid report with dates of what we can expect.
We're hearing that the Tower of Terror will receive NextGen queue modifications from February 21, 2012 through April 2, 2012. Likewise, Star Tours will also receive NextGen queue modifications from February 27,2012 through March 16.

​

Thus far, we've just see boxes and nothing else. Nonetheless, this is an important first step in bringing the NextGen tech to the attractions.

Interesting that the dates given started already...and Star Tours should be completed in 2 weeks. So we shall see...

Thanks for the update! Wow... it looks like Disney is going to "NextGen" every single attraction queue in each park before they move forward with Xpass!

Well, xPASS is part of NextGen that will require some small amount of queue work...but with how obtrusive it appears so far, at least at Star Tours, I'm have a feeling this is either something else (call it "plusing" the queue), or xPASS is just a part of it (if you're working on the queue now, might as well get that out of the way at the same time...)

Thanks for posting Doc. I agree it may well be queue stuff. It sure is making my June trip planning confusing. I hope I dont have to change a bunch of stuff right before we leave.

"Plusing" as with the Winnie The Pooh attraction? Is Peter Pan getting the same thing?
